Answer 2

On the basis of frequency of eruption, volcanoes are classified into three broad types, namely active, dormant, and extinct.

Explanation:

1. Active Volcanoes: These volcanoes are live and bear the ability to erupt anytime. The pre-eruption reactions in these volcanoes take place very close to the surface of the Earth.

Example: Mauna Loa, Hawaii Islands (largest active volcano in the world).

2. Dormant Volcanoes: These volcanoes lie inactive but certain changes in the interiors can reactivate them and cause eruptions.

Example: Mauna Kea, Hawaii Islands (largest dormant volcano in the world).

3. Extinct Volcanoes: These volcanoes are no more active and are considered dead.

Example: Ben Nevis, Scotland.
